Not much money for materials, tools would cost a bit if I needed to buy them. Cedar fence boards, bought three but I did make a couple guitars from them, about $2.50 each. Off cuts from pine grain separator forms the lumberyard did, $3, plus another $3 for some birch as a rosette. Head and tail block from oak timbers, free. Lining from leftover tongue and groove cedar, braces from RC model aircraft spruce, let's say $15. Free piece of oak pallet used for fretboard. Laminated fir 1"x 2", piece of purpleheart for the bridge, guessing under $10. Fretwire $2 foot so $6. Tuners , nut saddle, under $10. Glue and can of poly, let's say $15, shop supplies another $15. Still have the same can of poly and made a number of guitars though. So lets say about $65. Doesn't count the jigs I made but much of that was sitting around, a sheet of MDF to make a couple of radius dishes. Made my own heating blanket (bought a real one since) and used some high temp silicone for that. And other than have a wood bandsaw blade made up for my metal bandsaw to resaw the boards $15, and a bunch of clamps on sale which I can't recall how much I paid for them, (clamps with fir neck scarf being cut) really cheap entertainment for a few months of entertainment, paid more for a night out. Probably about $100.
